She hosts the nationally syndicated radio show, The Laura Ingraham Show, is the editor-in-chief of LifeZette, a long time Fox News Channel contributor, and host of her own FNC show, The Ingraham Angle, weeknights at 10 p.m.

In the late 1980s, Ingraham worked as a speechwriter in the Ronald Reagan administration for the Domestic Policy Advisor. She also briefly served as editor of The Prospect, the magazine issued by Concerned Alumni of Princeton.

After law school, in 1991, she served as a law clerk for Judge Ralph K. Winter, Jr., of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in New York and subsequently clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. She then worked as an attorney at the New York-based law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.

Ingraham has had two stints as a cable television host. In the late 1990s, she became a CBS commentator and hosted the MSNBC program Watch It! Several years later, Ingraham began campaigning for another cable television show on her radio program. She finally got her wish in 2008, when Fox News Channel gave her a three-week trial run for a new show entitled Just In.

Her book, Of Thee I Zing, was released in 2011. In August 2013, conservative Newsmax magazine named Ingraham among the "25 most influential women in the GOP."

Political columnist Paul Bedard reported on January 15, 2017, that Ingraham had been approached by Republican party "insiders," to run for the Senate seat held by Virginia Democrat Tim Kaine. Ingraham later confirmed that she was considering it.
